Where are you looking from?

Identify the level of perception that you’re operating from, now.

Your spiritual journey is about opening up to the potential of where you are on that path, right now. Your current perception is one possibility of how life unfolds. There are many viewing points. Each is a representation of how we limit pure consciousness in its attempt to shine through the body-mind organism. Use this teachings diagram to access a wider view and loosen identification with any one point of perception.

Duality

Duality is a mind created labeling system that enables you to believe that the world is separate from you. Viewing life dualistically divides all that is into opposites, e.g. you and me, day and night, right and wrong. Duality is how life shows up when consciousness forgets itself and collapses into the finite, conditioned mind. Then life is about perceiving objects and having experiences. When this dualistic frame or reference is believed to be a true representation of how things are, we are operating within the dualistic view of consciousness.

The Dualistic Perspective

The Personal Self: Me, Myself and I

When I believe thoughts that arise from dualistic thinking I feel better when others accept me or approve of me. My self image is important to me and I am critical of myself and/or others. All thoughts refer directly or indirectly to me, myself and I. Sensory, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual experiences are personally mine and help to build my story about me.

'I am' Perspective begins

Shift to the Impartial 'I' the Observer

Don't take anything personally. Nothing is about you unless you make it about you. Believing your thoughts creates suffer-ing. Recognize that your thoughts are mind made stories. Stop being interested in the content of your thoughts.

Shift in perspective

presence

I AM, Beingness

When your attention rests in the I am, personal identity is dropped. Self image shows up as a fluid expression of being without any attachment. Functioning is spontaneous and without a personal agenda. Attention rests within.

Experiencing the oneness

Being Aware of Awareness

Consciousness is conscious of itself, or awareness is aware of itself as 'I'. The experiencer is present when awareness is doing self-awareness. Drop the experiencer. Consciousness can be conscious of itself with or without the body-mind-intellect. Let it be recognized that the body-mind-intellect picks up the echo of what is directly known by you as pure consciousness.

Pure Consciousness

Pure consciousness is the Absolute and the Ultimate Source.
It is attributeless and empty of all content.

Shift in perspective - realizing the self

Non Duality

Non dual oneness recognizes there is only the subject in Reality. Manifestation is recognized to be the same in essence, different only in its forms of expression. What you are is all of it (form and formless) and cannot be separate from it. It is the thinking mind that creates and believes stories of separation.

Changes in the brain

Self-realization is just the beginning

Identifying as pure consciousness / awareness shows itself to be conceptual. The non dual lens is another viewpoint, no different to the dual lens. Both are available and there is no preference for either. All habits of identification are recognized as building blocks of that which has shown itself to be unreal (illusion).

Transcendence of Time, Existence, and Space

Each point in time and space contains all time and space. This understanding is sometimes followed by the breakdown of the concept of time. Space, the most subtle concept shows itself to be illusory also. Transcending existence yields a great wisdom that some access only as a brief glimpse. When it is recognized that there is neither existence or non existence, then there is freedom from the non dual lens. You can be anything and you are not anything.

There is nothing and drop the concept of nothing also

There is freedom from what you think is the Truth. Concepts no longer influence your actions. The body-mind flows freely in service to and as an expression of consciousness. Realizations continue, perspectives expand and understanding deepens because phenomenally we continue to evolve as human beings.

Prior to Consciousness

Jac's teaching diagram is a broad overivew of the spiritual path. The sequence of shifts in perspectives can vary, every path is a little different and unique. Life itself is the spiritual path which takes us on a journey exploring what it is to be fully human, fully divine yet beyond all of it.
